GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

This school is terrible they have mice. The school fights are so bad people have pulled up to each other's houses. Someone had a gun at school because people were trying to jump him. The school's staff is bad.

I like the diversity and clubs. But the teachers and administrators are not doing a good job at there safety. There is a fight almost every day 6,7,8 graders there are a few people that respect the school property,education. Many people call other people "gay" when doing something that is remotely bad. -Austin
